Frequently Asked Questions:
Direct-Mail & Packaging 

Find answers to commonly asked questions about our services, pricing, and ordering process.

What types of packaging options do you provide?

We offer a variety of packaging solutions including folded cartons, custom boxes, padded envelopes, and eco-friendly materials. Packaging is tailored to suit your product type, distribution method, and brand requirements. 

What types of packaging and direct mail formats are most popular?

Folded cartons are by far the most common packaging request we receive. They’re versatile, efficient, and ideal for a wide range of product types. While we do offer specialty formats like gift card carriers, those are typically limited to specific, niche applications.

Do you offer in-house design services for packaging or direct mail?

Most clients come to us with final artwork or at least a solid concept. While we don’t provide full creative services, our team can support layout adjustments—helping ensure the right content is placed in the right spot and everything aligns with postal or packaging guidelines.

Can you help with USPS mailing setup and permits?

Yes—we handle this all the time. Most clients choose to mail under our USPS permit (called an indicia), which saves time and setup costs. If you’d prefer to use your own permit, we’re happy to help guide that process as well.

Do you support variable data personalization?

Absolutely. We offer full data merge and personalization capabilities—so your mailings can include names, addresses, region-specific offers, or other targeted elements tailored to each recipient.

Can I track my direct mail campaign?

Yes. We can integrate tracking services into your mailing, allowing you to monitor delivery by ZIP code—even down to the final local drop. It’s a great way to time follow-ups or evaluate campaign performance.

Are there any data or compliance considerations I should know about?

Yes. We take data privacy seriously. We only ask for the information needed for your mailing—typically names, company names, and mailing addresses. If your campaign requires handling protected information, we’re HIPAA-compliant and can ensure secure data management throughout.

Is working with Wallace Carlson more expensive than handling it in-house?

Surprisingly, no. In fact, many of our clients find that our services pay for themselves through postage savings. As a USPS “Mail Anywhere” provider, we can often reduce costs—especially for out-of-state campaigns—while still delivering exceptional quality and service.

What industries benefit most from direct mail?

We see strong demand from home services (like HVAC, plumbing, and cleaning), travel and hospitality, and online retailers looking to drive traffic to their websites. If your business relies on reaching customers where they live, direct mail can be a powerful tool.
